If you Google “Danny Alexander” and “tax evasion” then there is a good chance that will get a bit confused. The best advice is to check the dates on anything you find.
Mostly because his announcement to the Lib Dem conference about a crackdown on tax evaders is more or less identical to the conference sound-bite of a a year ago.
The Lib Dems are by no means unique in recycling various policy initiatives for consumption by delegates eager for news of how ministers are pressing ahead with good works. Governments of all hues are notorious for the practice.
All the more reason therefore to wonder why BBC political correspondent, who covered both policy speeches, failed to remark on their pronunced similarities - or ask why the measures were taking so long to introduce.
